    I'm putting this in its own thread because I think a discussion about the media needs to be separate.

    On ESPN Stephen A Smith just said, after speaking with Dwight DIRECTLY, that Dwight is disgusted with the media and the reporting of a flip flop. He says he has never flip flopped, was resolute today that he wanted to join the Rockets. Had apprehension last night and this morning but made his final decision. He just wanted to talk to Mitch Kupchack personally. He is furious with the reporting because he knows his reputation after the opt in.

    So, do heads need to roll over this reporting disaster? This has made Dwight look like a total joke when it sounds like this was a totally fabricated story. Also, if Dwight was on a plane to LA I doubt he was telling Broussard a dang thing.

    Chris Douchetard should have been fired years ago. I hope he gets backlash for this and gets fired

    that's dwight's fault. IF someone is saying something inaccurate about you, you need to come out and set the record straight. By not saying anything it makes it look like you're acknowledging it.

    He should be. It was disgusting to watch those 2 nobodies on sportscenter mock D12, they were literally acting like teenagers. Does someone need to explain that they're on national TV and to grow the **** up?

    Sounds like it was all Broussard.
    He'll be Peter Vescey this time next year.

    Heads should roll. Chris Broussard should be fired. Immediately. The man is a complete fool, and has absolutely no credibility. Maybe we should start a campaign?

    FIRE BROUSSARD!!!

    He was on an airplane. LOL

    More information: Stephen A says he talked to Dwight 20 minutes ago and all Dwight could talk about was McHale and Olajuwon as well as seeing himself and Harden as a potential Kobe/Shaq.

    This deserves its own thread. ESPN just could not let go of him so they pretty much did all that to change his mind.

    God, all they talk about is the Lakers on ESPN. Stephen A. Smith really hates Jim Buss.

    If you were on your way to tell a team personally thanks but no thanks out of respect, would you first break the story to a known hack who has repeatedly said gazillion destinations that you considered when you never did?
